Focused On Spring Not Storms

Sardis - Wake Up!

Real faith that has REAL growth is what really counts. Yet, some of us get stuck in our faith living off the glory days of previous growth rather than leaning in and pressing forward. Or maybe we’re just playing the game, Christian in name only, without actually ever producing life change. Either way, Jesus calls His Church to wake up and move forward!

Mother's Day - Honor Her For the Work of Her Hands

Mothers are a gift from God. Their hands carry and care for many things. It’s only fitting that the Lord would call us to honor them for the work of their hands.

Thyatira - False Teachers

Not all “Christian” voices are faithful voices. It can be hard to discern false teachers and false teaching, but Jesus calls His Church to never tolerate them. It’s important to reject false teaching when we hear it because WHO & WHAT we listen to will ultimately shape what we believe and how we live.

Pergamum - Dangerous Drifting

Faithfulness to Jesus doesn’t just mean refusing to deny Him - it means refusing to drift from Him too. When our affections are set in the wrong places we can get caught in a current that takes us from following Him closely. God’s grace in community is the lifesaver we need to get us safely to shore.

Smyrna - Dealing With Slander

It’s a sad reality, but people can use their words to damage our reputations and cause us pain. It can evoke negative emotions, panic, and chaos in our lives and our hearts. How does Jesus call us to respond when it happens so that we can remain steady and trust Him through it?
